Host Joshua Solomon welcomes State Rep. Glenn Cordelli (vice chair, NH House Education Committee) and Jody Underwood (Education Options NH) for a brisk tour of New Hampshire’s expanding K‑12 choices. They explain Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs)—currently capped at ~350% of the federal poverty level (~$109,000 for a family of four). Families combine EFAs, tax‑credit scholarships, and sliding‑scale tuition to access private schools, charter schools, and homeschool‑friendly ‘learning centers.’

Underwood highlights ‘Learn Everywhere’ and dual‑enrollment credits. Cordelli notes the flexibility of charter schools and the state’s ‘innovation schools’ statute. The pair describe EdOpt’s county‑indexed directory and in‑person expos that connect parents, educators, and prospective micro‑school founders. They emphasize options for bullied or special‑needs students. Smaller settings and tailored tutoring often outperform one‑size‑fits‑all placement.
